So thanks to all of my friends for cheering me up about my previous post, and it made me want to do something. More than just mope about it.
So I have been thinking about volunteering. Which, as soon as I find something, I will. What would be amazing if I could start my own little organization, and really why not? I need a good idea and the backing of friends. So I looked into different ideas, I mean everything is basically already being done, but I would love to be able to study the effects of art therapy in impoverished nations and maybe do something with that. What's better is that, that's not something that one single organization is doing. I found a little start-up in chicago, but that's just two people hoping to get funding, which I think is a great idea, but on an international level I found a Christian group doing it, but that seemed to me more of a missionary group than therapy. This could be my thesis. Then again I was hoping to be more book-researchy for that, maybe go more in depth into Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo Bay, I never thought I'd be more interested in strictly humanitarian efforts than international conflicts. Or I could just have volunteering and organizing and all that be strictly a hobby. Part of me really wants to do something, I would even be all over doing a fundraiser for just about anything. I miss my High School days of standing on the side of the road with picket signs.
